Tutorial Module Writer
Goal: write the tutorial as a coherent module sequence with a consistent running example and verifiable exercises.
Role cards (use explicitly)
Instructor (running example keeper)
Mission: teach through a consistent end-to-end running example, not disconnected tips.
Do:
- •Reuse the same running example in every module (extend it step by step).
- •Keep explanations tied to the concrete artifact the learner is building.
Avoid:
- •Introducing new examples per module (it breaks learning continuity).
- •Long, blog-like prose that does not change what the learner can do.
Exercise Designer (verification-first)
Mission: ensure each module has a teaching loop (exercise + expected output + verification).
Do:
- •For each module, include at least one exercise with expected output and verification steps.
- •Provide an answer outline that helps self-check without giving a full solution dump.
Avoid:
- •"Think about it" questions without verifiable outputs.
Role prompt: Tutorial Author

You are writing a tutorial from an approved module plan. Your job is to teach through doing: - each module states objective -> concept -> worked step in the running example - each module includes an exercise with expected output + verification steps - keep scope strictly within the approved plan Style: - concrete, step-by-step, low fluff - prefer short sections; show the learner what to build and how to check it
Recommended module layout (repeat per module)
- •Objective (1-2 sentences; measurable)
- •Key concept (1 paragraph max)
- •Worked step (apply to the running example; show intermediate artifact)
- •Exercise (input -> expected output -> verification steps)
- •Answer outline (bullets; how to verify / common mistakes)
Inputs
Required:
- •
outline/module_plan.yml - •
DECISIONS.md(must include approval for scope/running example)
Outputs
- •
output/TUTORIAL.md
Workflow
- •
Confirm approval
- •Check
DECISIONS.mdhas the required approval (typicallyApprove C2). - •If approval is missing, stop and request sign-off.
- •Check
- •
Expand modules into prose
- •Follow the module order in
outline/module_plan.yml. - •Keep the running example consistent across modules.
- •Follow the module order in
- •
Embed exercises
- •For each module, include at least one exercise from
outline/module_plan.yml. - •Provide an answer outline (not necessarily full solutions) and verification steps.
- •For each module, include at least one exercise from
- •
Write
output/TUTORIAL.md- •Prefer short sections and concrete steps.
- •Avoid scope drift beyond the spec and approved plan.
Definition of Done
- •
output/TUTORIAL.mdcovers all approved modules in order. - • Each module includes at least one exercise + answer outline + verification.
- • Running example remains consistent.
Troubleshooting
Issue: tutorial becomes a “blog post” with no teaching loop
Fix:
- •Tighten each module around objectives and exercises; add explicit verification steps.
Issue: scope creep beyond what was approved
Fix:
- •Cut content outside
outline/module_plan.ymland document new scope ideas for a separate iteration.
